About Fuckin' Time-New [DECENT] Compilation Albums From Alexander O'Neal & The S.O.S. Band JUST THE WAY YOU LIKE IT! FROM TABU RECORDS & EMI: Alexander O'Neal And The SOS Band's Greatest Hits
All-New Collections Are The Most Complete S.O.S Band and O’Neal Hits Packages Ever Released, Including Several Previousl Alexander O'Neal (Jul. 22, 2004) Tabu Records / EMI Music Catalog Marketing will release two CD collections that will make you wonder what happened to real soul music, the kind that really made you move your feet and sing along. From the vaults of Clarence Avant’s Tabu Records, renowned for ushering in a new modern soul period in the mid ‘80s, comes S.O.S. Band: Greatest Hits and Alexander O’Neal: Greatest Hits, in stores August 24, 2004. These releases are the most complete hits collections ever compiled for both artists, featuring many tracks that have been unavailable for years. Alexander O’Neal was borne of the same Minneapolis scene that gave rise to Prince, Morris Day, et. al. That same city was also home to friends and former Flyte Time bandmates Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who produced and wrote lyrics for O’Neal. Greatest Hits features “Fake,” “All True Man,” “Criticize,” “Saturday Love” (with Cherelle), and “Never Knew Love Like This Before” (with Cherelle). O’Neal’s smooth vocals and Jam & Lewis’ invaluable influence make this an indispensable ‘80s soul album. Purveyors of funky soul, Atlanta’s S.O.S. Band got everybody moving with their #1 slam dunk hit “Take Your Time (Do It Right),” one of the favorites featured on the new Greatest Hits CD. Jam & Lewis came aboard after their third album, and the hits kept on comin’. Featured in this collection are: “Just Be Good To Me,” “The Finest,” “Tell Me If You Still Care,” “I’m Still Missing Your Love” and other memorable gems.

That's why I'm not getting too excited yet. I'll be pissed if I get edited versions. | |

Alex's "criticize" to me is not only one of the best "very 80's" tracks, it's one of the best tracks of all time!!! Great voice.....I always think that Jam and Lewis gave up on him in favour of New editioj singer Johnny gill.....they both had simular sort of voices? I heard that Alex was bigger in the UK then in his native America? Was that true? | |

I'm perfectly happy with the current SOS Greatest set. This one offers nothing for me, though it apparently does for others. | |

I hope that Alex's C D isn't all of the radio edited versions as well, since I don't have any of his albums and would gladly get this compilation. Jeux Sans Frontiers | |

Not even the decency to release the Debut album from Brainstorn | |

COOL!
my jams from alexander o' neal were fake,what is this thing called love. it'll be good to pick up provided that they aren't edited. | |

They still don't have "For Your Love" on the SOS Band compilation. I need that one because my 45 has a scratch on it. I would love to have the 12 Inch as well, especially the dub version. I remember hearing it back in the day but could not find it. I have the dubs of "Just The Way You Like It" and "Just Be Good To Me" and they are jamming. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Yeah.. shit I didn't even see that. That's like my favorite song by him! OK I'm proaaabably sticking with those comps that came out in the 90s. At this point, they flow like albums unto themselves, like Immaculate Collection. | |

Even though it's a holiday song, "My Gift to You" should have been included on Alexander O'Neal's. I play it every year from the day after Thanksgiving through Christmas evening, if I don't misplace the tape, which is more times than not.

Hmmm...
I have (and like) the current SOS greatest hits CD, so I won't be buying that one. Not a bad Alexander O'Neal collection at all, but I probably won't be buying that one either, since two of my favorite Alex tracks are not included ("Sunshine" and "Sentimental"). | |

I think his Christmas album was pressed on CD in Japan. You can find it on eBay pretty easily. | |

I think his Christmas album was pressed on CD in Japan. You can find it on eBay pretty easily. I'm not rushing to replace it. Hopefully the tape will pop up again before Dec 24th. "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!
